1. Stow your phones and make sure to complete the WYAW (While You Are Waiting) activities (attendance, etc.)
   
   
2. Building Community: https://wheelofnames.com/s84-9pq
   
   
3. Moving on to some technology models: These models help inform our work as teachers to be CRITICAL THINKERS and INFORMED DECISION MAKERS. It is professional knowledge that will help you as a teacher.
   1. SAMR: Another way to think about how teachers and students use technology.
      Let's review from the video what SAMR stands for
      
      Image the creation of Dr. Ruben Puentedura, Ph.D. http://www.hippasus.com/rrpweblog/
      
      
   2. TPACK: What is it and why might it be useful in understanding how teachers integrate technology in their practice? The key is that the K in TPACK is what ya' knowor in other words the teacher's KNOWLEDGE.

4. Web 2.0 tools are web-based and let you create something (video, image, blog post, snapchat photo, website, slidedeck, document, online timeline or graph) by accessing the tool directly from the internet.
   
   
5. Google is a key source of web 2.0 tools including docs, sheets, forms, etc. Google Sites is also a web 2.0 tool and you're using it because you can use the tool to make a website with your own ideas and content and share with the world.
   • Cloud-based access via the internet
   • Can require sign up or not
   • User created content
   • Allows for sharing via a link (in the cloud) or a download
     
     
6. Let's take a look at some curricular standards with a couple of these tools in mind:
   

NC SCoS Math: Measurement . Data Look at the range of grades and subject areas that have a standard related to data displays. How might your subject area and grade level use this tool? Create a Graph: Data displays http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/ We'll use your favorite dinner data from last week's attendance question.

8. Let's begin to make a simple matching game using images:
   1. Go to Flippity https://www.flippity.net/ and choose the Matching Game - Instructions.
   2. Go down to Option 2: Google Sheets
   3. Copy the spreadsheet and it will open on your Chromebook (it's saved in your Google Drive by default)
   4. Delete the existing data in both columns (but NOT the header) and add your own content.
   5. We are going to do both text and images. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THIS. [[ URL of image]]
      Use images from Google Image Search with the end of the URL .jpg or.png or other file format
   6. Do two or three matching pairs and then stop.
      
      
9. Once you are done, explore some of these activities created by past interns.

10. Generative AI! What is it and what will it mean for education?
    • Resources for teachers from teachers related to the concrete and practical side of AI (e.g., ChatGPT)
      https://ditchthattextbook.com/ai
      • Implications for the classroom and education
      • How are teachers using ChatGPT in the classroom?
        
        
      
      
      
11. The most well known Generative AI tools are Chat GPT (https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt/) and Bard but there are better ones for teachers using more friendly interfaces called "wrappers". Let's focus on these:
    1. MyLessonPal (no sign up required) https://mylessonpal.com/
    2. Magic School (sign up required but free for now) https://www.magicschool.ai/
       
       
12. What is (a) reflection? In your groups come up with a definition and three characteristics.
    
    
13. Now let's look at the assignment in Canvas - ask questions, please!
